I don't think you've got it quite right. Here is my impression of the lyric. I've always thought this song sounds a bit 'half-baked'...not quite finished.

The Average Life Of A Daily Man
(Hank Marvin)


Driftin’ along with his head in the clouds
Never had time to get his feet on the ground
Thinks he’s got somethin’ the world’s needing bad
Waits for the real big break that he’s never had

He’s gonna wait forever
Can’t accept that he will never make it
Just the average life of the daily man

Taking his coffee from people he meets
Smiles at the young girl who will buy him his eats
Tells her he knows that he will make it soon
And when he does he’s gonna buy her the moon

She’s gonna wait forever
Wonder if she knows he’ll never make it
Just the average life of the daily man

Not got to sense to realise although he tries with puffed up lies
To blind the eyes of friends he’s still a would-be

will never rise to any heights try as he might this world is tight
don’t get no flights on first class seats that would be

He’s gonna wait forever
Can’t accept that he will never make it
Just the average life of the daily man
Average life of a daily man

Yeah, let’s hear it now
Two bars in G

Hi, Clive
I must admit that I had problem writing these lyrics and Jay helped me (I'm not English).
